PT 488 Final Internship II

This 12-week internship is the final of four full-time, long-term clinical experiences designed to develop the clinical competence of the student for generalist physical therapist practice. The setting selected is coordinated with the setting of the Final Internship I and the two prior full-time affiliations experiences (PT 483 and PT 485) to ensure the student has had exposure to a breadth of diagnostic groups health care settings, and physical therapy care across the lifespan. The student will examine evaluate, diagnose, prognose, and design/implement physical therapy interventions for patients with complex and/or multiple system involvement while under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The students will also develop skills in professional and practice management.
